Title: Big Photos
Post by: Simon O on May 18, 2012, 08:36:39 am

Anybody know how you put big photos in a post such as those nice ones of his veg patch done by Bert in his recent post? I can only find out how to put small photos in.
Dan will know I suppose

Bert's are hosted on Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), so there's no size restriction. You can insert a hosted image by clicking the image icon (first on the second row) and pasting in the image's URL.

You can attach images using the attachments option below, but since those are uploaded to our server we have a restriction on the size.

Hope this helps, if you need a hand just ask.  :)

Those are seriously cute pups  :love:


When I post photos using Photobucket the image is smaller. So what am I doing wrong?

you're copying "image thumbnail"

(which loads faster on slow internet connections)

Use the 'Direct link' from Imagebucket.

Then on TAS click the image icon (first on the second row) and you should get a little pop-up saying 'Enter image location'. Paste the link from Imagebucket into this field and click OK. You should see the image in the post editor in TAS.

HTH.  :)
